Turbobrick Neutral Newbie January 9, 2002 Share January 9, 2002 Who here has painted your brake calipers or drums? What paint did U use and how's it holding up? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yongwd 1st Gear January 9, 2002 Share January 9, 2002 SAY NO TO painting stock brake calipers! If you paint, you are actually adding a thermal coating to the brake caliper to reduce heat dissipation. OFcoz u cant feel it in street driving or street racing, but try coming out from Genting highlands u feel the diff. Dont let me see your car in long-kang (drain)!

Turbobrick Neutral Newbie January 9, 2002 Author Share January 9, 2002 My brakes got free upgrade to big big one from agent so neber mind lah Seriously, I went to PG with my painted calipers and my tranny overheated before the brakes so not too concerned with the brake caliper overheating first Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madarmour Neutral Newbie January 10, 2002 Share January 10, 2002 I used Hammerite paint found in must DIY shops. It's still stuck there! Still have half a can left, and that's after painting 4 - 5 cars! Gimme a call if you feel the urge to paint your calipers. Cheers! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie January 10, 2002 Author Share January 10, 2002 Hey Mike! I also use Hammerite on my calipers and still got more than half after four calipers two coats each. Damn shiok! I got some paint chips due to my clumsiness from changing pads, other than tat the paint holds up real well! Cheap and good, the hammered look also damn shiok!

Fabiaman 1st Gear January 10, 2002 Share January 10, 2002 I also used the Hammerite to paint my calipers (front) and drums (rear). The paint is still not faded yet, just that the front caliper is heavily soiled with the brake dust. I used blue, what colour did you guys paint?

Turbobrick Neutral Newbie January 10, 2002 Author Share January 10, 2002 I used to have it light blue but now changed to silver due to rim change. All with Hammerite! Best paint I've experienced! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huggable Clutched January 12, 2002 Share January 12, 2002 Me used Hammerite also. RED [blush]calipers to match my car! As for rear drums, me painted them silver. No special reason, just that black is b-o-r-i-n-g! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huggable Clutched January 12, 2002 Share January 12, 2002 I've also noticed that the paint has come off at some parts of calipers, probably the tyre mechanic's masterpiece? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie January 12, 2002 Author Share January 12, 2002 One point to note is the hammerite paint is very brittle, it'll hold and last damn long but just one tap with a hammer or tool and it'll chip off. Must touch up everytime I work on my brakes Skillz not enough yet.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
